CHICAGO - Refrigerant management and oil flow were two themes emphasized at the most recent Food Marketing Institute Expo. They were joined by new fan technology and increased emphasis on energy efficient and durable cold room doors in refrigeration-related displays on the McCormick Place exhibit space.
"This provides early detection of refrigerant leaks to reduce repair costs," Essingler said. The monitoring is documented either graphically or numerically, providing detailed records for service technicians, storeowners, and - if necessary - an Environmental Protection Agency inspector. "This is a form of on-site recordkeeping," he said.
